GENERAL OVERVIEW: The Novocheboksarsk Khimprom Production Association is a giant facility whose Production Facility No. 3 manufactured chemical agents between 1972 and 1987. It is located in the "factory city" of Novocheboksarsk which was founded in 1961 ten miles east-southeast of Cheboksary. It now has about 130,000 inhabitants and forms a single whole with Cheboksary. The plant is now making preparations to destroy chemical weapons and agents while continuing to produce household chemicals and fertilizers.

MILITARY PRODUCT LINES: Chemical weapons

CIVIL PRODUCT LINES: Household chemicals and fertilizers including aniline dyes, caustic soda, chlorine, chlorine compounds, ammonia, ammonia sulphate, and sulfuric acid.

KEY TECHNOLOGIES/EQUIPMENT EMPLOYED: Novocheboksarsk already has technology for destroying conventional and rocket artillery rounds (shells, bombs, and missile warheads) filled with sarin, soman, and VX (organophosphorous toxic chemical agents). The weapons are first of all drilled through, then the toxic agent is "sucked up" through the hole and immediately detoxified. Materials which have undergone reactions are recycled or burned. Lewisite will be used as a raw material for producing pure arsenic for the radioelectronics industry.

CONVERSION PROJECTS: Khimprom plans to convert from a producer and munitions filler for nerve agents to a CW destruction facility.

HUMAN RESOURCES SUPPORT: Housing construction is underway and kindergartens and pioneer camps are operating.

OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION: The decision adopted by the Russian government in November 1992 to destroy chemical weapons at the sites where they are produced caused a storm of indignation in the Chuvash Republic where the Khimprom association is located. On the other hand, President Yeltsin said that Khimprom workers told him in September 1992 that they would invest their privatization vouchers in their enterprise, which was showing a 30% profit.

Since 1943, over 180 aircraft and 200 aircraft components have been tested at SIBNIA's facilities. SIBNIA came into existence in 1941 when the Central Aerohydrodynamics Institute (TsAGI) was evacuated to Novosibirsk to escape from the German advance on Moscow. Sergei A. Chaplygin, the second director of TsAGI, died in Novosibirsk on 8 October 1942 and was buried in front of SIBNIA's main administration building. The bulk of TsAGI's personnel returned to Moscow in 1943, leaving behind a cadre of researchers and equipment at what then became the S.A.
